Did you know that an estimated 15–20% of the global population is neurodivergent? That means millions of employees experience the workplace through a different lens—bringing with them unique cognitive strengths such as hyper-focus, pattern recognition, and creative problem-solving. Yet, despite their potential, neurodivergent individuals are often overlooked or misunderstood in professional environments.

This webinar is designed to help HR professionals and workplace leaders better understand neurodivergent conditions and how to navigate both the legal requirements and practical strategies for supporting these employees under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

In this fast-paced and myth-busting session, we’ll explore the legal framework around neurodivergent conditions and disability status, demystify the interactive accommodation process, and offer real-world guidance on how to support neurodivergent team members without putting your organization at risk. You'll learn how inclusion isn’t just a compliance box to check—it’s a smart business decision that can unlock exceptional talent across your workforce. Plus, we’ll walk through specific scenarios, provide take-home toolkits, and highlight what to avoid in interviews, reviews, and employee conversations.

Agenda Includes:
  • Framing the Conversation – A quick dive into the evolving language around neurodivergence, and why this matters right now for employers.
  • Neurodivergence 101: Beyond Buzzwords – Definitions, real-world examples, and what neurodivergent strengths look like in the workplace.
  • The ADA & You: Legal Responsibilities Decoded – Understand how the ADA applies to neurodivergent conditions, including interactive process best practices and accommodation scenarios.
  • Creating a Culture of Inclusion (Not Just Compliance) – How to make space for different brains without reinventing the wheel—or alienating your team.
  • Common Pitfalls HR Should Avoid – Ask your burning questions and learn what not to say in performance reviews, interviews, or accommodation talks.
  • Wrap-Up & Resources – Takeaways, toolkits, and where to go from here.
Your Benefits for Attending:
  • Gain a clear understanding of the ADA’s legal framework as it applies to neurodivergent employees
  • Learn how to recognize and implement reasonable accommodations before issues escalate
  • Identify and leverage the strengths of neurodivergent individuals to improve team performance and innovation
  • Discover proactive inclusion strategies that don’t require overhauling your organization
  • Avoid common HR pitfalls that can lead to legal or relational complications
  • Access takeaway resources, toolkits, and real-world examples for continued learning

Attending this webinar will empower you to confidently support neurodivergent employees, helping you create a more inclusive workplace while mitigating legal risk.

Who Should Attend:
HR professionals, people managers, team leaders, compliance officers, and anyone responsible for employee well-being or workplace policy enforcement.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
There were some things that the presenter mentioned but weren't on the slides that I wish were so I could copy them down. I also wish I could get a recording since I attended this and not have to pay extra. There wasn't a mention of "head of household" when it came to tax filing, so I wished that was talked about.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
The presenter had a political-leaning tone to the presentation; that really should be left at the door.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
I felt there was political bias in the presentation. It should have been purely informational and should not have had any political commentary or opinions.

She spent more time telling us her personal views than teaching the material. Give the information and keep views out of it.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
The speaker needs to slow down a bit. The information was presented with terms not all of us are familiar with and I think it would have been a better learning experience to have added 15 minutes to the overall presentation. Also, we paid money to hear 1/2 of the information needed. Many of the items were left as, "check with your legal counsel / accountant, etc)
